Love this place. We go there a lot! The servers know us, the owner always stops to say hello to everyone there. The food is delish and they always have off menu specials to try! Some days we get lunch and dinner there.

Cobb salad was decent, but we liked the pizza. The staff was very friendly, and it was a nice location.

Sat outside due to excellent weather, and it was perfect for lunch. Had the red pepper hummus and the steak pizza. So flavorful and perfect blend of pizza toppings. Server was attentive and food was served without much wait. Can't wait to return for dinner menu!

This place was a delight! The weather was perfect for dining outside. They have a nice amount of seating outside. There was a nice selection of items on the menu. They also have specials. First of all, the food was excellent. Well done! They were fairly busy when we were there but you didn't see that reflected in presentation or quality. The waiter could not have been better. He did a great job and even helped us get a picture of our gathering. It's a nice relaxing place .

We love everything about Tavern! The food, the atmosphere, and the people! You can't go wrong with any of their menu items. Ryan is our favorite server. He's very attentive and always friendly. Highly recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner!

Met an old coworker here for lunch. It was quite a hopping place. Plenty of staff to cover the crowd. We were able to order and received our food piping hot. Burger was great. Fry portion was a bit small but honestly probably the right size! There are a couple different rooms so you can have a more restaurant experience or bar experience. Staff was attentive and food was great. Would definitely go back.

I was staying at the Super 8 a quick 5 minute walk. I order the Bang Bang Shrimp and a Side Salad to go. I had a cocktail at the bar while I waited. It was very busy with what looked like a lot of locals, but struck up a conversation with some dog show people as I was leaving. Like me, they were celebrating their wins at the show or the wins of their friends. The food and drinks were great, but a little pricey. But what the heck I was celebrating my dog winning today
